Russell Brand Sells His Bachelor Pad

It looks like Russell Brand has finally unloaded his English bachelor pad. A recent article in The Mirror sent me to peep over at the listing which now bears a sold banner. We first looked at Brand's luxury bachelor pad in November of last year when he put it up for sale. Brand is set to marry pop star Katy Perry and has a growing movie career in the U.S. with roles in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Get Him To The Greek." He is currently at work on a remake of "Arthur" taking on the role of a drunken, rich layabout that Dudley Moore made famous. Brand and Perry have been spotted house shopping in New York City.

Brand's former bachelor pad in Hampstead is a Victorian home renovated in a hiply goth style. The home has five levels and features dark flocked wallpaper, large televisions and modern furniture. An entire room is given over to Brand's love of yoga and the plush black and silver master bedroom is exactly what you might from this self-confessed sex addict. The home also includes a media room, outdoor hot tub and a top floor bedroom suite which currently serves as an office. It was listed at £2.5 million.

Russell Brand In Hampstead, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

British comedian and actor Russell Brand has been in the news a bit lately. He's been increasing his profile in the United States with more acting roles (he's set to take on the Dudley Moore role in the remake of Arthur) and with his romance with Katy Perry. Perhaps Brand is considering a permanent move to the U.S. because the BrickWork blog reports that Brand's home in the Hampstead area of London is on the market.

The Victorian home has been renovated in a hiply goth style that reminds me of the vintagey creations of Douglas Little. The home has five levels and features dark flocked wallpaper, large televisions and modern furniture. An entire room is given over to Brand's love of yoga and the plush black and silver master bedroom is exactly what you might from this self-confessed sex addict. The home also includes a media room, outdoor hot tub and a top floor bedroom suite which currently serves as an office. It is listed at £2.5 million.
